As we prepare for Christmas Day, Met Éireann has shared a weather outlook that promises a largely dry and mild day for most parts of Ireland. Here’s what you can expect today:

Daytime Weather

Christmas Day is set to be unseasonably mild, with temperatures reaching between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius. While the day will feature a good deal of cloud cover, there will also be some bright or sunny spells, offering a pleasant break for those venturing outdoors for festive walks or activities.

However, a few patches of light rain and drizzle are possible in some areas, so it’s advisable to keep an umbrella handy if you’re heading out.

Coastal Areas

In coastal parts of the west and northwest, moderate south to southwest winds will pick up and could feel fresher at times. These areas might experience slightly more unsettled conditions compared to the rest of the country.

Christmas Night

As evening sets in, Christmas night will continue to be largely dry with cloudy skies for many regions. A few isolated spots of light rain and drizzle may occur, but the west and northwest could see more persistent outbreaks of rain. Temperatures will remain mild, with lows of 8 to 11 degrees Celsius accompanied by light to moderate southerly winds.

Final Note

Overall, Christmas Day 2024 offers favorable weather for holiday celebrations. Whether you’re spending the day indoors with family or stepping out for a festive stroll, the mild conditions are a welcome gift from Mother Nature.
